Who says romance is dead? In case you missed the end of the UFC on FOX 7 broadcast on Saturday, Benson Henderson celebrated his title defense against Gilbert Melendez by proposing to his girlfriend Maria. Now, whether you support public marriage proposals or not — I don’t, way too risky — Henderson definitely miscalculated the goodwill of the San Jose crowd, who booed the fight’s decision as soon as it was read, and booed even harder when Bendo dropped to one knee, furious at seeing the enemy walk away with a title belt and a fiance.

“I’m not perfect, I never have been,” Henderson told his lady. “But you make me happier every single day, more than any man has a right to be. I love you. Will you marry me?”

Maria accepted, and then hung out in the background for a minute while Henderson finished off the interview. By the way, this was the first time that Henderson didn’t start off a UFC post-fight interview by quoting Philippians 4:13. Let’s hope this doesn’t lead to any awkward moments at the next Zuffa Christmas party.

Fuck Gil, fuck the shark tank, and fuck u San Jose. Sorry ur bitch ass fake champ Gil lost, wait no I'm not. Now I don't have to hear his stupid voice, when he runs around telling every one he's #uno. Hahaha scrap pack goes home again without the belt boooofuckinghooooo.

I'll take Ben Henderson's aw shucks bible thumping any day over that smug sack of shit Jon Jones and his high horse. Jones is basically like a black Matt Hughes. I'd set the over-under on Jones dumping his old lady at 24 months. Any takers?

@Tai-Pan: He has done the "All Things Through Christ" spiel after every UFC fight he's had. This was the first time he didn't do it so he could instead get booed by San Jose some more.
